when her husband objects, they
throw him down and choke him.

pile twenty-five days without trial
or evidence, feel outraged and re-
fused to work; whereupon they
are put into the "bull-pen" and

A workingman just up out of a

rants are out now, under which
men will be arrested next week

like common thieves, and $1,000
or more of hard earnings be flched
from them in fines. If the thou
sands of hard-working men in this
city are not craven towards, this
sort of thing will stop very soon.
To this end there will be grand
rally at the city park Sunday at
3 o'clock, to petition the mayor
and council to abolish the police
court and Jail, and put the police
beneath the constitution and the
law.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
New YORK, August 5.-The
county general committee of the
United Labor Party of this city
at its meeting held on the fourth
of August last, in Clarendon Hall,
resolved with large majority to
exclude from the party all men,
bers of the Socialist Labor Party,
thus reversing the decision of the
county executive committee, on
an appeal by the chairman of the
tenth assembly district, that art
ticle one, section two, of the con-
stitution, in treating of political
parties, does not include the So
cialist Labor Party, as was the
general understanding at the time
the constitution was framed.
The majority of the county gen
eral committee, in overriding the
sound conclusion of the county
executive and stamping the So
cialist Labor Party as hostile to
the party of United Labor, have
not alone proven themselves imbe-
Giles, but shown themselves total
ly ignorant of the aims and ma
ture of our party.
For a very long period, while
the mists of economic ignorance
yet rested on the masses of the
people, while the workingmen in
their conservative Trades-Unions
yet marched with the old parties
of plunder through the mud and
slums of corruption, it was the
Socialists who held aloft the ban
ner of political independence and
without minding the mlsrepresen-
tations and, slanderings, whether
of capitalists of or their own fell
acknowledgment on every occa-
sion, in print and by word of
month. preached the political
emancipation of the proletariat.
This idea of political and eco
nomic emancipation they have
introduced into all the organiza-
tions into which they could gain
an entrance. and when the Central
Labor Union was founded in New
York. they were untiring in their
efforts to convince this important
body of the necessity of independ-
ent political action.
As true party of propaganda
the Socialist Party did not con-
tent itself with preaching these
ideas, but tried wherever possible
TO give their less advanced fellow
workingmcn a good example by
practicing independent politics. In
this way the traces of their activi-
ty are everywhere visible; the
constitutions of all the most ad
Ivanced labor associations show
marks of their work.
They did, as matter of course,
their whole duty in the movement
that started in May, 1886 They
are indeed the true creators of the
Union Labor Party, for it was
they who first gathered together
the masses of the people, routed
and cowed by the Chicago bombs
and the New York boycott decis-
ions, and who courageously met
and dehed the overbearing inso-
lence of the possessing classes.
1t was the various labor organi-
cations who placed themselves on
the platform of the Central Labor
Union. which had adopted our de-
mand for tie abolition of tie 7Vagr
system. and then raised Henry
George on their shield and made
him their leader, the man to carry
their banner inscribed with: Tie
The Labor enquirer., 1887-08-20

George who now on the threshold
of the convention which is to
make the nominations for the next
campaign, pushes into the fore
ground his one-sided land and
tax-scheme, his special hobby, and
eontemptuously throws aside the
wage question, the burning social
question that brought him to the
front.
In order to keep in the dark
this prominent demand Of the
working classes: the abolition of
poverty, Henry George makes the
highly comical charge against us
of-economic ignorance (af), and
reproaches us with egotistic de-
sires to exploit" the party
charges which precisely ca n, very
properly, be laid at his door.
For these reasons we energeti-
cally protest against this act of
intolerance, and appeal to organ
lied labor, particularly in New
York. We insist that the burning
social question is-not a land tax
but the abolition of all p7oate
property mushuuents of production,
in land, certainly; but above all
in machinery and raw materials.
This perfectly logical and only
scientific demand is held by all
workingmen's parties of the old
world, of England, France and
Germany, first of all as funda-
mentally distinguishing them from
all other parties, even from the
radicals. Instructed by the teach
ings of history, we warn those
members of the United Labor
Party who are yet opposed to us
not to be dazzled and misled by
the one-sided theories of a Henry
George, but closely to examine
OUR ideas and aims. +"
To exclude the Socialist ele-
ment from the ranks of the Unit
ed Labor Party is, in fact, to de
prive it of its rudder; without il
the ship of the new party, lader
with such splendid promises, will
surely suffer shipwreck on the
shoals of trifling half-measures.
Should this protest, supported
by you, the advanced workers, not
be listened to, then the time will
have come for a workingmen's
party with broad programme
demanding the economic emanci.
patton of the suffering industrial
proletariat from the fetters o1
wage slavery, and determined or
carrying out this programme.
In case this protest Should
make no impression, we call upon
all advanced workingmen who
sympathize with us to answer
the accommodation launched
against us, by indignant resolu
tions in which their respective or
ganizations sever their connection
with the United Labor Party; anc
| if these also should be of no effec
on the narrow-minded Henry
George worshpipers, to take sucl
other measures as will teach them
that without the oil of the Social
iss and the advanced working
classes, the lamp of the Unitee
Labor Party will be but a smoul
dering wick.
Meanwhile we wish all progress
i've workingmen to join orr party
in order to propagate our princi-
pies and thereby exercise such
pressure on their conservative
brethren, that they will be disgust.

for 4 thorough organization. The
convention called at Buffalo, n.

slider these things and take such
action as will make action and
unity possible.
We who have all along insisted
upon the whole truth being spok-

brunt of the battle in the Western
States,--wc on our part must now
put ourselves more boldly to the
front even than before.
Let US waste no more time on
mere Sidc-shows which ia the end
amount to nothing except to in
crease the general confusion.
An open organization for public
propaganda is needed in every To-
locality. Let it be formed at
once. In each place call the So

them. No matter if there be but
half a dozen, n,-organize, and report
your proceedings to the under

Anecdoto of Gen. jackson.

You sec, l knew old Hickory personally.
My father served under him at New Orleans
in 1914, when my eyes were first opened at
Jonesboro, E. Tenn. I've seen the bushes
many a time behind which Russell Bean con-
cealed himself when Jackson compelled him
to answer the summons of the court. Bean
did not like the appearance of his newly born
child, which he said did not belong to him,
and in his anger he took knife and slit its
ear. He was indicted by the grand jury and
warrant issued for his arrest. Gen Jackson
was judge then of that district, and when the
sheriff reported that he could not arrest the
prisoner unless he killed him in tho attempt,
the judge said: "You haven't summoned the
right kind Of men to your aid" Your
honor" said the sheriff, jocularly, ~ summon
you"
The Judge got off the bench without saying
another word, buckled on his pistols, and pro
ceeded alone to little hill where Bean was
hiding. He called Bean and told him he
must obey the law. Bean said: go away,
general, don't want to hurt you" "Deliver
yourself up to me at once" said the general
Bean said he would not when bang went the
pistol. The ball passed through Beams
whiskers and grazed his cheek and the scalp,
just above the ear. He cried out quickly:

He was marched to the Jail by the general as

prisoner over to the jailer, got on the bench
and opened court to try the case. Subse-

we had no penitentiary in Tennessee at that
time he was ordered to be branded in the
right hand with the letter "M" AS soon as

and while the steam was still arising from the
